Dunlop Explosive Speed 17G Blue Tennis String

The Dunlop Explosive Speed 17G in blue offers the same high-performance characteristics as the yellow version, but in a sleek, electric blue finish. As a 17-gauge string, it is designed to provide a more "lively" and sensitive feel compared to the thicker 16G.

Performance Profile

1. Maximum Snap-Back: The 1.25mm diameter combined with a smooth, round surface allows the strings to slide and snap back with very low friction. This translates to effortless power and a boost in "easy" pace.
2. Enhanced Feel & Touch: The thinner gauge provides a more flexible stringbed, giving you better feedback on touch shots, lobs, and volleys. It feels less "boardy" than thicker polyesters.
3. Increased Spin Potential: While it is a round string, the 17G thickness allows it to sink deeper into the ball's felt upon impact, creating more mechanical grip and rotation than the 16G version.
4. Improved Comfort: The increased elasticity of the 17G gauge helps dampen harsh vibrations, making it a more arm-friendly option for players who want to use a polyester string.

Best Suited For

1. Technical Players: Those who rely on a mix of power and precision and want more "feel" for the ball.
2. Advancing Intermediates: Players looking to transition into the world of polyester strings who need a gauge that is easier to play with and less demanding on the arm.
3. Players in Low-Powered Racquets: If you use a heavy, control-oriented racquet with a dense string pattern, this thinner gauge helps open up the sweet spot and add necessary depth.
